Period clashing with marathon

28 replies

Hi ladies - I’m running my first ever marathon this weekend and it looks like it’s going to clash with the heaviest day of my period 😭I get really bad stomach cramps and leg pain and just generally feel drained and lacking in energy.

Throughout the whole of my training i have managed to avoid this so I’m really worried about how it’s going to impact me on the day

. Does anyone have any tips on how to get through the race ? I’ve never taken the period delay tablets before and after reading the horror stories don’t want to risk it.

Honestly just dreading running now - I swear my period has an inbuilt sensor for the most inconvenient time to come !!!

i wore period pants & a tampon and it was luckily ok! I always feel a bit drained during my period so felt like I lacked a bit of energy but I made it round without any leaks so that was the main thing !!
